Yunding Ranch

Chapter 465 Blessed Dumplings
"Mom, Mom. You go and sit down, we young people will leave the rest to us." Lu Li walked into the steamy kitchen and pushed Song Lingyi out.

Song Lingyi was still worried and wanted to defend herself, but Lu Li didn't give her a chance at all. He held her shoulders and pushed her towards the dining table, "Don't worry, enjoy dinner. Don't worry anymore." After that, Lu Li turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Even though he didn't turn around, he seemed to notice Song Lingyi's footsteps as if he had eyes on his back, "Don't come here, hurry up and eat."

This is the case every year during Chinese New Year. The elders who are in charge of cooking are constantly busy in the kitchen, so that they have no time to eat at all. They can only eat while tasting salty or between cooking. a little something.After a busy night, when they came to the table, the table was full of wine and food, and a mess.

Later, when I grew up, the New Year’s Eve dinner in the hotel gradually prospered, liberating the elders from the kitchen, and leaving everything to the restaurant.But gradually, the "new year flavor" of Chinese New Year seems to be getting less and less.Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Strictly speaking, Lu Li is the owner of Yunding Ranch. He took over the job of cooking from his grandmother and mother, and took care of the second half with his cousin, so that grandma and mother can relax and really enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner happy atmosphere.Of course, the most important thing is to fill your stomach.

Song Lingyi came to the dining table and said with a smile, "Is there a place for me? Or should I go outside? It looks very lively outside." Song Lingyi took a look, and the bonfire outside the main house reflected the entire night sky red Yes, even the garden was shrouded in an orange halo, and everyone gathered around the roasted whole lamb, laughing and laughing, the atmosphere was so lively.

"Here, here." Jessica pointed to the vacant seat next to her, "Tonight's heroes are always welcome here!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone cheered, raised their hands high, and applauded Song Lingyi. Some people even blew whistles, and even the table next door heard booing, and the space in the main room suddenly It was full of loud shouts.

Song Lingyi's cheeks were slightly flushed due to hard work, and crystal sweat could still be seen on her forehead. She was not shy, but looked down for a clean glass. Jessica poured her a glass of beer, and then sang He raised it up and toasted the whole table, "Then I would like to thank everyone for your support. Of course, there is also my mother's hard work. I wish everyone a happy new year!" These words were all in English. This time, Song Lingyi quickly adapted ranch life.

After drinking a glass of beer, everyone raised their glasses to pay tribute, and the atmosphere of the dinner became more lively.

Song Lingyi sat down and saw the tableware on the table. There were knives and forks on the left, and chopsticks and spoons on the right. She knew it was Lu Li's handwriting. She couldn't help laughing, picked up the chopsticks and looked at the table. She was thinking about where to start, and then the voice of "sweet and sour pork ribs" came from her ear, and she couldn't help laughing, "How do you know, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs?"

Turning his head, it was Lu Huaijin who was explaining to Adam. He said "Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs" word by word in Chinese, and Adam followed suit. Vinegar Pork Ribs” on top.

Adam held a fork in his hand with a rib stabbed on it, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, and couldn't help but make a sound of enjoyment. The low moan/groan really made people blush and heartbeat, but Adam didn't hesitate. He cared, and even showed a satisfied expression, and kept saying, "Jesus Christ, this is really... so wonderful!"

Adam swallowed quickly, then looked at Song Lingyi excitedly, "How did you do this?"

Song Lingyi and Adam were not familiar with each other, so they didn't expect such a question at all, and they couldn't help being stunned for a while, and Jessica's sighing voice came from the side, "I told you, don't underestimate Fourteen, and don't underestimate Chinese food. .At Yunding Ranch, you will feel surprises, and the surprises will never stop.”

Adam didn't know when another rib was stuffed, he couldn't speak, he could only grunt, "Mmmm, ahh." The vague voice made people laugh, and finally swallowed it, but it was only too late. Say, "Good! Good! Really good!"

Yarang didn't refute Jessica's words, but said curiously, "This is really amazing. Chinese food is not like this, it's not like this!" Adam's eyes began to shine, "Chinese food as I know No, it's not like that! It's simply the most delicious food in the world!"

Regarding this point, it is obviously a matter of opinion, and everyone's preferences are different.But at least for Jessica, she's willing to say yes.There was a clear light in his eyes, he stabbed a piece of beef with a fork, and said slowly but confidently, "Welcome to join us."

Song Lingyi laughed softly, "It seems that my son's influence is greater than imagined." A sigh made other people around nodded. It was originally just a joke, but it was rewarded Such an effect made Song Lingyi stunned, and then burst out laughing.

"Coins! Coins!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the main house, shouting all the way, and the footsteps of bang bang were approaching from far to near. A figure knocked open the door, and Tony's extremely excited expression appeared on the scene. In front of everyone, his right hand was still held high, and a happy smile bloomed between his brows.

Everyone in the main room was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting Tony's fuss and cheering appearance, and not even hearing clearly what Tony was shouting just now.

With a bright smile on Tony's face, his excitement was not affected at all. He shook his right hand, "Coin! Didn't you find it? Coin!"

Before everyone could react, Chen Taotao was the first to yell, "Coins!" This was in Chinese, but she changed her words and said it in English, "Coins! It's in the...uh...dumplings!" This English sentence is very simple, but because he was too excited, Chen Taotao couldn't even say a word, "There are things in the dumplings. Coins are one of them."

"Oh." Song Lingyi reacted and explained in a more fluent way, "This is a custom. We will put various things in the dumplings to express different meanings."

"Really? What is there? What does it mean? What is the coin, what?" Tony asked urgently, his whole face glowing with excitement.

Song Lingyi thought about it, and then realized that the dumplings filled with different fillings for the New Year's Eve dinner were in the Tang and Song Dynasties?Or is it the tradition of the Three Kingdoms period?This explanation has a long history, so she pointed to the kitchen, "The official translator is in the kitchen."

"Ah Choo", Lu Li sneezed, and for some unknown reason, Zhang Wenyin, who was standing beside him, said with a smile, "Someone probably misses you."

"Coins represent wealth." Song Lingyi had no problem with this explanation. After finishing speaking, she gave Tony a thumbs up, "Happy New Year."

"Wealth! Wealth!" Tony held up the coin high and spun in a circle, "Haha, it must be a vineyard, it must be! God, fourteen, fourteen!" Lu Li in the kitchen heard the shout, but No time to talk to them, "Hurry up and thank me, thank me! We're going to be successful this year!"

Tony's yelling attracted everyone's attention, Jessica immediately looked at Song Lingyi, and asked for confirmation, "In the dumpling?" After getting an affirmative answer, Jessica quickly started to look at her plate Licha dumplings, not only her, but everyone else started grabbing dumplings one after another, even Lu Huaijin joined in the fun.

Before Jessica could stuff the dumplings into her mouth, someone from the table next to her shouted, "What is this? Corn? Why is there corn? What does corn represent?"

"Happiness." Song Lingyi shouted. Corn is used instead of bran. The pasture is too hasty to prepare for the New Year, and there is no time to purchase further materials, so it can only use the resources at hand.

"Oh! Kale? Jesus Christ!" Adam was about to spit out all the dumplings in his mouth, but Song Lingyi said seriously, "Don't waste food." Adam could only swallow the dumplings with tears in his eyes. The look of "the baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say it" made everyone else laugh.

"Sweet, this is... is this white sugar?" Brandon at the table next to him frowned. It was obviously white sugar, but he seemed to be eating coptis.

"Sweet." Chen Taotao blinked slyly, and said jokingly, Brandon's face immediately became stiff, while Jia Siming, who was sitting next to him, laughed, leaned into Brandon's arms, and said to him Looking at Chen Taotao, he said, "Do you like Victoria?"

Chen Taotao nodded vigorously, then looked at Brandon and Jia Siming, and made a "love" gesture. At this moment, everyone else at the table began to whistle.

"Why are you all late? I didn't?" Randy was outside, but ran in at some point, "Is it because your dumplings are different from ours?"

Before waiting for an answer, Ronald's voice sounded, "Fourteen, is there any pepper?"

"Spicy, spicy." Yuan Qingzhu could only say one word, and then Liu Xiaoyan, who was sitting next to him, laughed and said, "It seems that you have won a lottery, and you actually ate chili peppers."

Ronald swallowed the dumplings abruptly, then opened his mouth wide, and poured beer down his stomach continuously. After drinking the whole glass, he was relieved a little, "What does the pepper represent?"

Liu Xiaoyan looked at Yuan Qingzhu, laughed heartily, did not speak, and Li Huainan, who was sitting diagonally opposite, said in a low voice, "It doesn't make sense."

Ronald was dumbfounded and stunned, as if he had been hit hard.That appearance was unbearable. Even though Yuan Qingzhu couldn't understand the conversation just now, she understood Ronald's meaning, so she said kindly, "Hot."

Ronald was stunned, "What do you mean?" Not understanding at all, Liu Xiaoyan explained empathetically, "I wish you prosperity and sexiness in the new year."

"Sexy/sensual?" Lily immediately showed a face full of helplessness, and Ronald spread his hands innocently, "I haven't had time to say anything yet."

This back and forth, everyone laughed.
